In a nail-biting match, New Zealand beat England by just one run in the second test match of their series.
England had been chasing a target of 273 runs, but they fell just short after a dramatic final over. Despite losing early wickets, England managed to get close to the target thanks to a brilliant century by opener Rory Burns, but his dismissal in the final overs proved to be the turning point in the match.
New Zealand's bowlers held their nerve to secure the narrowest of victories, and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
The win is a significant boost for New Zealand ahead of their upcoming tour of Australia, while England will be left to rue a missed opportunity to level the series.
